However, beware of scammers because some students have been duped of 6-7 lakhs in hopes of getting a job after the program. 

The Analytics program is 90% Statistics, Calculus & Linear Algebra and the rest is all about learning how to interpret using the software. Students do not get the resources or support required for the SM and project 1 & 2 preparatory classes. The program combines 9 subjects of general MBA, 2 project classes, and 5 subjects related to analytics and the amount of INR 6 LPA charged for this seems hefty when measured with what is offered.
